Peacemakers in Action, Volume 2 provides a window into the triumphs, risks, failures, and lessons learned of eight remarkable, religiously motivated peacemakers including: A Methodist bishop in the Democratic Republic of the Congo who confronts armed warlords on his front lawn; A Christian who travels to Syria to coordinate medical aid and rebuild postwar communities; A Muslim woman, not knowing how Kabul's imams will react, arrives to train them on how to treat women -- respectfully.
